Not sure where to post this but I would like an answer from someone in the know.
Why does MFP want access to COVID-19 tracker app? I was looking through the app & found it. Seriously, why?

    I'm going to guess that they want to see if there are correlations with diet/exercise and covid. That's pure speculation from someone not in the know - have you asked in the support forum?

    I have no idea what you're talking about.

    But you certainly don't need to agree with the request...I would definitely do a support request for explanation, I think if MFP was doing this officially, they would have made an announcement. Sounds to me like someone trying to track your location, and that isn't good...

    Go to "Help" at the top of any page and send a request for an explanation.

    I don't know about iOS, but with Android, you can turn off the permissions of individual apps if you don't want them to have access to something.
